Review: BARACK OBAMA in Ottawa, Canada (02-19-09)
Tiesto has some competition..
apparently the President unexpectedly extended his set beyond the original 5 hours by making a few unscheduled stops in town..
quote:
Future visit
U.S. President Barack Obama wrapped up a lengthy news conference with a pledge to return to Canada - when it's warmer. And with a broad smile he also thanked the Canadians who headed stateside to help with his election campaign.
Mad dash
Obama waved to the crowd again as he was leaving Parliament Hill. When everyone realized the motorcade was heading east, hundreds of people ran in that direction to see if they could see him again. The snow is ankle deep and rough terrain from thousands of footprints, so everyone was stumbling and giggling as they ran. Then when the motorcade disappeard around the corner, there was another stampede to Wellington St. People were cheering and waving as it crossed onto Elgin St. To head back to the airport. Then when the frenzy was over, all you could see were people checking their cameras to see if they had the shot they had been hoping for, still gasping for breath from the run through the snow and cold air.

Souvenir shopping
After leaving Parliament Hill, the President made an unscehduled stop in Ottawa's Byward market, sparking pandemonium among the afternoon shoopers.
He stopped at the Oxxo Silk Market. He emerged with a keychain that he purchased with Canadian currency, telling Ann Compton, "I was looking for a key chain and a snow globe for my daughters." He said he was continuing a tradition started during the campaign, picking up memorobilia at every stop.
Shoppers crowded his every move, snapping pictures. Obama then said he was looking for a Beaver Tail, a famed local pastry. He entered Le Moulin de Provence and announced he wanted Canadian cookies. The baker, from the South of France, obliged with Maple Leaf cookies, according to the pool report provided by an American reporter accompanying the president.
"I figure I'd get some points from may daughters," Obama said. The baker refused his cash -- don't know if they were loonies. "It's for your daughters," he said. "It's not for you."
As he emerged from the market, a woman waited for him with the Beaver Tail. He took it, posed for some pictures, then ducked back into his limo.
Obama and a $5 bill
Adnan Ustun, manager of OXXO Silk & Gift store in the ByWard Market, holds the $5 bill Obama used to buy a keychain for one of his daughters. He is also holding another one of the keychains, which has a moose on it.

Treats for Obama
Obama bought two Maple Leaf cookies at the Le Moulin de Provence bakery during his unscheduled stop in the ByWard Market. While he was there, BeaverTails employee Jessica Milien, 17, brought him an Obama tail, a version of the deep-fried patry coated with cinnamon and sugar and decorated with the letter O made with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and maple syrup.

Obama got out of his limo, saw his shadow, and there will be six more weeks of winter!

This whole "saint" treatment Obama is getting is really starting to piss me off, especially how it's clouding everyone's judgment of him.
Obama is a bankers boy and a total fraud.

aw I love him lol
Honestly. Ok. just as tired as people are of hearing about Obamania and all the hoopla surrounding him... I'm tired of people complaining about how shit he is, how he's a fraud, etc... Like c'mon, for those who follow and know politics...they should know that there are a multitude of factors and variables that decides on who the President will be. Quit with the old tiring who 'would be' better, or 'could be' better. There were 2 candidates to choose from in the end, McCain & Obama + their choices of VP. You must be a retard if you think that McCain & his choice for VP would've been the best choice.
..and that's the bottom line.
Obama may not be the ideal presidential candidate, but considering the options, I think they got it right this time.
My opinion. Feel free to state yours.
p.s. I wonder if Obama ate the beaver tail? fak. I could go for one right now...w/ Maple Syrup
Barack stops for some cookies and tail in Canada!

WRONG. There weren't two candidates. In fact there were many more. A good alternative candidate would have been Cynthia McKinney. Look her up on youtube.
The bottom line is Obama told us he was all about change. But instead we got the same old recycled people from the Clinton adminstration, many of whom including Summers and Rubin are directly responsible for the financial mess.
http://solari.com/blog/?p=2006
Not to mention Lynn is back who was assistant CFO at the Pentagon when 3-4 trillion dollars went missing.
I also want to point out:
1. No soldiers are coming home. They are only being moved to Afghanistan to fight an unwinnable battle. The military budget should be drastically reduced, but it will not be. This is a game of geo-political chess being played out in central Asia. Its more about control of the opium, oil, and gas reserves rather than about the Taliban.
http://www.321gold.com/editorials/e...dahl020609.html
2. Only $40 billion out of $790 billion is being allocatd for infrastructure. The rest is for poverty pimps like Acorn voter fraud, a one million person "private volunteer group" which sounds like fascism to me, and a huge project to centralize health records into a government database which has huge implications for abuse.
http://solari.com/blog/?p=2082.
The tax benefit to individuals at $10 a paycheck is a joke. He should be immediately raising taxes on the most wealthy but he is not (despite the top 1% now owning 39% of the wealth in the U.S.).
3. Obama pushed the first round of TARP through, and requested the second round. Without his support TARP would never have passed in the first place. The TARP money is money being taken from the average citizen and given to banks to offset their derivatives speculation. Its a way to socialize the losses and privatize the gains. In particular, the parasitical financial institutions like Bank of America, JP Morgan, and Citi should be and are bankrupt, but Obama continues to funnel money to them. They should be seized by the FDIC and split up into small pieces.
4. Obama and Biden voiced very loudly their support for Israel, despite the atrocities and war crimes that have been committed recently.
5. Obama's proposed cap and trade system threatens to cut our GDP even further by levying a tax on what essentially is industrial production. Look up how Goldman Sachs stands to benefit from his cap and trade system, at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. In short, Goldman Sachs invests in a company that has an unprofitable sequestering technology. That company receives government subsidies at the expense of the taxpayer to subsidize that profit into production. The profits go to Goldman Sachs rather than being invested in the real economy. You have got to ask yourself, why are the car companies going to be put through bankruptcy because they collectively need $30 billion, while the financial institutions have goten $2 trillion plus trillions more in guarantees from the Federal Reserve?
6. Obama is keeping Bush's executive orders which eliminated Habeous Corpus (H.C. prohibits the government from using the military against the people) and which permits the government to spy on its citizens.
7. I might also add that Obama administration seems like it will be going forward with a missile deployment system in Eastern Europe to fight supposed Rogue missiles from Iran. Is this really the time for military escalation such as this?
etc.

my review:
even though his trips to-and-from the airport had many hours in between, they still had the "potential motorcade routes" roped off. I had to walk an extra 8 blocks just to find a way around all of the cops protecting an empty street. was kind of cool to see snipers on downtown rooftops, though.
I give it a 0/10 because his visit was an inconvenience to me and made me late for an appointment.
